Yes, I also think this is the way to move forward. I have discussed this
during the last Hypertext Coordination Group telecon [1]. One of the
suggestion people made is to find "classes" of possible rendering that
could be detailed. We could then say that e.g. visual agents could
render it this way, while non visual agents could do it differently.
Chris Lilley wonders also if the media selection would trigger :selected
in CSS. We definitively need to talk with the CSS WG to resolve together
this point.
I think Jack's suggestion is also a very good one, i.e. make the
parameters of the MF url available to scripting, as attributes on the
HTMLMediaElement interface. This is most likely a request to make to the
HTML5 WG.

+1
Chairs hat on, let's put some ACTIONS :-) I suggest that:
- Silvia?/Jack? complete the section 7.1,
http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/#media-fragment-display, and in
particular improve the description of what should happened in a web
browser (or this class of UA);
- Silvia drafts a paragraph that could fit in the HTML5 spec and
initiate the discussion with this WG (you could mention as well the
changes required in the HTMLMediaElement interface)
- Raphael contact the CSS WG to investigate what could be done.
We will naturally have a discussion about all this tomorrow.
Best regards.
